Dinamika Implementasi Kurikulum Pendidikan Islam: Analisis Kritis Strategi Manajemen dan Problematika

Abstract

This study aims to critically analyze the dynamics of the implementation of the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) curriculum, focusing on management strategies and the challenges encountered in the field. Through a literature review of various recent research findings, this article explores three main dimensions: (1) strategic management analysis covering the planning, implementation, and evaluation stages of the curriculum; (2) the dynamics of learning methodologies, shifting from a cognitive approach toward the internalization of moral values; and (3) the ecosystem and implementation challenges in the era of digital disruption. The findings indicate that the successful implementation of the PAI curriculum heavily depends on the synergy between the institution’s managerial readiness, teachers’ pedagogical competencies, and adaptability to digital technology. The gap between the ideal curriculum design and on-the-ground realities remains a significant obstacle, including limited digital literacy among educators, an overload of cognitive content, and weak school-parent collaboration. This study recommends an integrated approach through the enhancement of teacher competencies, the reconstruction of content based on moral values, the digitization of management, and collaborative learning models as strategic solutions to realize a PAI curriculum that is transformative, relevant, and has a tangible impact on the character development of the Muslim generation.
